I built a new squirrel house for my pet squirrel Ganesha. I was at Lowes and bought 2 hanging flower baskets, mounted the top one upside down and wired it to the bottom one. Inside is lined with paper towels and a towel. I cut a hole in the top so he can crawl in and out. He’s big enough to jump to the tree and back.
Squirrels normally live in hollowed out trees. This is a hollowed out tree simulator. It was also cheap and easy to build.
This is an inside view lifting up the towel that he likes to sleep under. You can see more pictures of Ganesha here.
He’s a happy little squirrel.
I eat him, no problem.
We have a line about squirrels. “Country rats with fuzzy tails…”
Used to have squirrels everywhere here. Now there are none. Combination of neighbor feeding all the stray cats and a hawk that set up residency in the eucalyptus trees.
Too bad all gods creatures can’t get along with one another.
Keep him safe.
You should call Ganesha’s home Kailash.
“You should call Ganesha’s home Kailash.”
Great idea!
as Carmen says …. ‘sweet’
thanks for sharing pictures – nice built home
Squirrel’s are rats with good PR but they taste good if prepared properly.
I like this a lot, it makes me feel good. I hope alfred1 and Theone die in accidents this weekend.
This was great stuff. Nice to see something uplifting.

Quite possibly the funniest thing you have ever said. 😀
# 1 Alfred1,
You made a good funny!
Like # 11 Thomas I am surprised and impressed.
Maybe, you are not a strange Martian Alien Species after all. 🙂
What kind of interest rate did you guys get?

Sarcasm aside, my brother in law is eating squirrel meat right now. He swears that they taste good but I’ll pass 🙂
But dog meat! Yum *vomits*
Ok, you are going to heaven. Now back to real news.
Good job Marc.
Don’t know about going to heaven but at least when you die the squirrels might not eat your nuts.
Have a good holiday.

It’s all yours. Just don’t come home one night like Shiva or you’ll be looking for an elephant head.
Have fun.
Jeez! The squirrel is like a Malawi kid to Marc’s Madonna.
